You don't believe it. Do you ?
Well, if you don't, just google over "Agraj Mangal".
The very first link leads to the blog entry of Mr Arun Gupta, a technology evangelist at Sun Microsystems, and is doing some great work on technologies like Glassfish, jMaki, JRuby, Ruby on Rails, Ajax Framework......perhaps the list is endless.
He is luckily a senior (an alumni of my Department) to me. (obviously lucky for me) :-)
and is a very down-to-earth and chilled out person.
And a big thanks to him, Google knows me now.....A friend of mine(Anuj) happened to told me about the search...and i just said...."Wow, is that so ?"
Also i happened to visit Sun's Office(in Delhi) yesterday and the experience was just amazing. It surely needs another entry to describe my experience.

My First Tech Demo
So folks, finally its happening !!
On 14th January 2008, Monday at 3 P.M. in the premises of Department of Computer Science, University of Delhi, I will be giving my first technical demo on "Web Services with Netbeans 6.0".
It will introduce the IDE and will also cover the basics of web services.
There are no prerequisites for attending this session.
All the students are encouraged to participate and learn something new and useful.
There are prizes to be won and refreshments will be given to the participants.

Developer Tools : Making Life Simpler !!
Today i'm gonna talk about some really cool tools (tech toys) that software developers use to develop high-end software products.
Let me start with a full-fledged Java IDE, Netbeans 6.0
You might already have heard of it. Simply, because its everywhere. Simply because if you are a Java programmer and you want to make any Java Application, Netbeans 6.0 is for you.
For those who do not know, Netbeans 6.0 comes with out-of-box support for Java SE, Java EE
and Java ME. It comes preconfigured with Sun Application Server Glassfish v2, thus allowing
the developer to develop Web Applications with ease and without downloading any plugins
for supporting Java EE.
Also Glassfish makes life easy as it apps running on it conforms to Java EE 5 standard and you can get an early look on Java EE 5 technologies like
On this note, i would like to add that Delhi University Computer Science Department Students use Netbeans/Glassfish in their projects. And yes, we are enjoying it.
Also, i would like to mention that we were introduced to this amazing world of technology (Glassfish+Netbeans) by Mr. Arun Gupta, an alumnus of our department and now working with Sun Microsystems, USA.
To start with Glassfish/Netbeans, i would suggest you to download the Netbeans IDE here and see for yourself, how easy life can be.
To start with Glassfish, read

I would like to take a hands-on session on
"Introduction to Netbeans 6.0" pretty soon.
Will keep you informed. :-)
Ciao

- JAXB 2..0 (Java API for XML Binding)
- EJB 3.0 (Enterprise Java Beans)

My "Sun"ny days
Well i have been recently selected as a Campus Ambassador for Delhi University by Sun Microsystems. :-)
Its basically an internship program but more than that, its about being a technology evangelist. It simply means Talking, and that is something i love. Yeah, i love talking about stuff i know (that includes technology talks as well as gossiping)
Sun Microsystems, as you might know, is a leader in the spectrum of Open Source, with most of its products and technologies being open source. They were the first one to quickly perceive the pervasiveness of open source technology in the software life-cycle. More than that, it allows technologies to grow at a never-ending rate with the help of online communities and discussion forums. Kudos to Sun Microsystems for that.
And for those who do not know, Open Source is not limited to software. Yeah, Sun engineers have also open-sourced their chip design. :-)
So, all students from Delhi University, feel free to contact me on agraj.mng@gmail.com and i will try my best to answer your queries asap.
For those who are interested, can join these groups:
Java User Group of Delhi University : http://groups.google.com/group/jug-du
OpenSolaris User Group of Delhi University : http://groups.google.com/group/osug-du
Don't forget to introduce yourself and tell why you want to join the group.
I think thats enough for today.
After all, its just the starting of my "Sun"ny days. Hope the fun continues with this quest of learning and sharing knowledge.
